Publisher's Synopsis

A woman walks through a virtual reconstruction of the destroyed streets where she and her lover used to live. A young man trades away his youth, and something of himself, in the plasma extracted from his blood. A clone addresses her dead, doubled 'self' as she tries to understand her personal history. In these uncanny stories of virtual reality, biotech, data surveillance and communications technology, 'Black Mirror' meets M.R. James: unsettling perspectives on contemporary and near-future scenarios are layered with hauntings; borders are blurred between living and non-living, real and not-real.
